摘要:
A computer implemented method for running a plurality of business services within an explicitly defined business context wherein the context and the business services are representing meaningful instances of work situation or actions, the method comprising: provisioning web services, a composition of services, or both with an additional input/output interface for passing data from and to a parent business context; enabling this interface to handle long running, stateful actions; and implementing a standardized user interaction behavior to make the user interface of an action reusable across contexts. An embodiment of the invention introduces an “action” concept which can be technically described as a wrapping layer on top of enterprise services that provides a special plug & execute interface to enable a service or a composition of services to interact with a parent context.

Methods and apparatuses enable triggering a work action from instantiation of a document. A system identifies instantiation of a document that has an associated business scenario. Based on the business scenario, a work action or activity as part of an stand-alone workflow is generated to accomplish the work of the business scenario. In one embodiment, a workflow is generated that includes multiple actions, including actions that may be performed by users other than a user that instantiated the document. In one embodiment, the workflow generated is a distributed workflow generated from reusable workflow building block components.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for contextual navigation and action stacking. A method includes, in a computer system having a context repository in which at least two context templates are stored, each of the context templates representing a meta-model of a business situation, and an action repository in which at least two actions are stored having respective action definitions, instantiating a context in response to the business situation based on a context template stored in the context repository, the instantiated context representing a model of the business situation, associating at least one action with the instantiated context, generating a user interface (UI) based on an interface template, the UI enabling at least one action to a user based on the instantiated context, the at least one action adopting the instantiated context, in response to a user's selection of one of the at least one action, enabling the user with a plurality of sub-actions the user can perform before completing the one action, and adding the plurality of sub-actions to the instantiated context, the sub-actions adopting the instantiated context.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for generic contextual floor plans. A computer-implemented method for providing a user interface for running business processes, wherein process data are handled in data objects by one or more service-oriented business applications, including enabling a generalized information architecture for presenting modeled-business situations, including work-roles, process instances, and business object instances for handing the data objects active in the plurality of business processes, enabling an interface generator for directly generating a user interface from the generalized information architecture, and enabling the user interface by the interface generator while identifying a particular instantiated business situation as a business context in the generalized information architecture to which the user interface provides the interface.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for context and action-based application design. A method for implementing a business application includes, in a computer system having a context repository in which at least two context templates can be stored, each of the context templates representing a meta-model of a business situation, and an action repository in which at least two action definitions can be stored, which action definitions define at least an input or output of a service, instantiating a context based on a context template stored in the context repository such that the instantiated context can be a model of a business situation, associating at least one action definition with the instantiated context, and mapping at least one parameter of the instantiated context with at least one input or output parameter of the associated action definitions and using the mapped parameter as input data to the service or outputting data from the service to the parameter when the business application can be running.

A graphical user interface includes a graphical user interface, which includes an item interface in which at least two items can be listed. In an expanded state, the item interface has a collapse control for bringing the item interface in a collapsed state in which the dimensions of the item interface are partially reduced and at least some of the items are not visible. In a collapsed state, the item interface has a expand control for bringing the item interface into the expanded state.

Systems and techniques to provide control center pages in a portal. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes enabling a user of a portal to navigate between control level pages and execution level pages without losing work performed in the execution level pages. The control level includes user-centric control center page(s) that provide the user with personal resources and serve as an anchor, or “home”, page.

In an embodiment, a user input defining an enclosed, graphical shape on a video display is received. A number of graphical items are identified as being included within the enclosed, graphical shape. Here, each graphical item is displayed on the video display and represents a data object that has a number of properties. A property is extracted from the number of properties that the data objects have in common based on the identification. A number of other manipulation techniques are also described.
